HR software startup Rippling's cofounder Prasanna Sankar has unveiled his new venture, Vorflux. The startup is building an 'autopilot' for software engineering — he calls it his “high-octane Ferrari.”
The company has raised $15 million in seed funding from Y Combinator, Peak XV Partners, Powerset, Alliance, and angel investors such as Parker Conrad, Immad Akhund, and Balaji Srinivasan.
"Every AI coding tool still makes you fly the plane. That's the copilot model: you stay in the seat, approving every turn. The models quietly got good enough to fly the whole route, but the tools never caught up. So we built the autopilot," Sankar said in a post on X.
